So say that today is the 3rd July and the alert is excuted at 1pm, the the script will return 1 day, if say the event was on the 5th July....logically thinking it would return 1 day, but phyiscally there are two days remaining. PHP Code:

Getting "Days Remaining"
I have written a program that gets the date, and compares it with a "Sale Date". If the current date is before the sale date (November 22nd, 2007), it will print "Sale is on!". If it is after, it will print "Sale is over...". $freestuffdate = "22-11-07"; $today = date("d-m-y"); if ($freestuffdate >= $today){ echo "Sale is on!<br />"; } elseif ($freestuffdate<$today){ echo "Sale is over...<br />";} I am wondering if there is any way to make a code that prints out how many days are left until the end of the sale. How can I tell PHP to subtract $today from $freestuffdate, so that it tells me how many days are left from the current date and the sale date?

How To Add X Number Of Days To A Date
I have been scratching my head over this one. I want to add a number of days to a date and end up with a date. The only way I've thought of doing this so far is converting to a time stamp, adding the days (in milliseconds) and then converting back. I'm sure there must be an easier way!

Calculating The Number Of Days
I have a bit of a problem calculating the number of days chosen for a report. This is what I wrote: $start = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month1, $day1, $year1); $end = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month2, $day2, $year2); $days = (($end - $start)/(60*60*24)) + 1; where the values for $month1, $day1 etc. are selects in a form. The starting and end dates must be different. This seems to work mostly except for some cases e.g. Jan-01-2006 to May-01-2006 which gives me "120.95833333333 days". Any idea what I am missing?

Calculate Number Of Days Between Two Dates
I have people posting ads and when the ad is posted I have two fields populated at that time: date_created date_expired With the date expired being 7 days after the date created. Both are in this format: 03/12/07 What I am doing is preventing someone from posting more than one ad per 7 days. I'm validating against their email address for that. But I want to display the date that they would be eligible as well as determine if they are eligible to post or not which would require comparing today's date with probably using the now() function against the date_expired in the database. If the today's date is past then no problem. If not, then it would display an error. Code:

Add X Number Of Days To Today's Date
I have been looking through this forum and discovered that the way most people add X number of days to today's date is using this code: echo mktime(0, 0, 0, date("n"), date("j") + 10, date("Y")); When I do this, I get an output similar to this - 1156114800 I am not sure what I can do with this, I am trying to compare it to a date pre-entered into mysql. I also tried using strtotime("+1 day"), with a similar output again.

Calculate The Number Of Days Between A Given Date And The End Of The Month.
I was hoping someone can help me with a date calculation. I'm trying to calculate the number of days between a given date and the end of the month. I have a form with three drop down boxes: month, day and year. A user will submit a date using these drop down boxes. Based on their submission, I need to determine the number of days to the end of the month from the date which was submitted. For example, if the person submits March 15, 2007 and the last day of the month of March is March 31, 2007. The number of days between the 15th and the last day of the month is 17. How do I begin programming this calculation? Since the last day of the month differs from month to month (28th, 30th or 31st) I cannot figure out how to determine the last day of a given month.

How I Could Compare Two Dates To Find The Number Of Days That Seperate Them.
I was wondering how I could compare two dates to find the number of days that seperate them. For instance, after a user signs up to my website, they would see a specific message for only a week. Obviously this is easy if they signed up on the 14th and today is the 16th, but what about if they signed up on the 29th, then I need to figure out for the next month.

Start Date - End Date = Number Of Days
I have a starting date for var 1 and today’s date for var 2. I need to calculate how many days are between those two dates. 02/24/03(today) - 01/14/2002(start date) = number of days. In theory this is easy but there are many instances were I could get an inaccurate answer. For example one consideration is that some months have 30 days others have 31. exc. My question is, is there an easier way to solve this problem other than using endless if statments to error handle all possible instances? Does PHP4 have any built in functions that could calculate this formula correctly?

True && Print()
function printx($str) { echo $str; } true && printx("foo"); true && print("bar"); Why do I see "foo", but not "bar"? According to the manual, print and echo are language constructs, not functions.

What Is True Templating?
I am just basic templating person (smarty and others). I was wondering what levels of templating is attainable. Can i open up a .tpl file and see exactly how the HTML will render? Right now if I open a .tpl file on the browser I see smarty tags and stuff. Also, more advanced users generate input fields (text boxes, drop downs) and all that using quickforms making the .tpl file more crappy.. I was wondering if there can be more perfect separation of presentation and PHP logic, by which you just open up the template and you see the HTML as it would be shown with data. Can you point me to websites that give examples on this? need not be ones with Smarty.

Returning A True 404
My .htaccess file reads: ErrorDocument 400 /404.php ErrorDocument 401 /404.php ErrorDocument 403 /404.php ErrorDocument 404 /404.php This means if someone types in the wrong address (e.g. www.mysite.com/wrongpage.php ) then they are automatically redirected to 404.php Now, I would like this to continue, but also return a true 404 (as required by Google), can you tell me how to do this?

If Statement Says That True == False;
A little background for reading this code: I have an array of arrays that is created in a function. $qlist = prepQuizQuestions(); I break this out for readability sake into the 3 component lists $First = $qlist[0]; $Expected= $qlist[1]; $third= $qlist[2]; Now I want to compare the information contained in a dynamically created textfield named with the letter “q” followed by an integer (the maximum integer is contained in a variable $hxp). So I use a loop as follows: for ($i=0;$i<$hxp;$i++) { $actualVar = "q".$i; //now the name of the textfield is contained in the variable $actualVar $user_response = ${$actalVar}; //I want the contents of the textfield so I put that into $user_response (for readability) HERE IS THE PROBLEM FUNCTION // <problem> if($user_response == $Expected[i]){ //Now I user_response the equivalence of the variables //and it fails – everytime; except when I fail to enter anything //here is the remainder of the necessary code: $xresp = "Match!!!! "; }else{ $xresp = "No Match ";} print($xresp." - you said - ><b><u>".$user_response."</u> </b>it is type: ".gettype($user_response). " the answer is <b><u>".$Expected[$i]."</b></u>. It is type: ".gettype($Expected[$i])); echo "<p>";}} else {…. // </problem> =-=-=-=-=-=-=- And here is what I get: No Match - you said - >true it is type: string the answer is false.

If Statement Always Evaluates To True
We have a form that is collecting user input. There are three fields for each phone number (area code, prefix and suffix). I'm trying to use a simple if statement to confirm if the first character in any of the fields is "0". If it is, then I just redirect them to a different page because it's someone that is just messing around. Unfortunately, whenever the form loads, the if statement automatically evaluates to true and the user always gets sent to the other page, even when they have not typed anything in the form. Below is the code for the if statement. if I comment out the header line, the form loads. Any help would be greatly appreciated! if (substr($HomePhone1, 0, 1) == "0" || substr($HomePhone2, 0, 1) == "0" || substr($HomePhone3, 0, 1) == "0" || substr($BusinessPhone1, 0, 1) == "0" || substr($BusinessPhone2, 0, 1) == "0" || substr($BusinessPhone3, 0, 1) == "0" || substr($CellPhone1, 0, 1) == "0" || substr($CellPhone2, 0, 1) == "0" || substr($CellPhone3, 0, 1) == "0"){ header("Location: /otherpage.php"); } BTW, I tried it with the zero as a number instead of a string and it still worked incorrectly.
